is an American photographer
and artist who has become notorious through his photos of corpses and
his use of feces and bodily fluids in his work, notably his
controversial work "Piss Christ", a red-tinged photograph of a crucifix submerged in a glass container of what was purported to be the artist's own urine.
I really do not like his work. I find it horrifying and disgusting. I have no idea why some one would want to take pictures of dead, cut, mutilated bodies, or to take pictures of poo and wee. What purpose did he feel these photographs needed to be taking. To be honest his work scares me a little but i feel that is to do with the disrecpectful way the poor people are displayed in the photos.
I really do not like this photo. This photo affects me emotionally and makes me Pysically angry. I know a photographer has done his job if he manages to stir up emotions, but in this case i think thats wrong. I thought photos where suppose to bring beauty and awareness how is taking photos of babys feet art how can this photo be put in a gallery. Im at a point in my research that im not even sure this can be classed as portrait. But i will
not be influenced by him in any of my photography in this next project by this man.
Again this is another photo i find horrific and dont understand why he thought this was art and worth documenting in this manner.
Well........all i can say is im really not impressed..........at all.
This is my opinion and views on this photographer no one elses.
